حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُنَادِي ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُؤَدِّبُ ثنا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَقَاتَلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأَمْضَى بِهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلَى الذُّرِّيَّةِ فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى قَتْلِ الذُّرِّيَّةِ؟» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا كَانُوا أَوْلَادَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ «وَهَلْ خِيَارُكُمْ إِلَّا أَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ؟ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا مِنْ نَسَمَةٍ تُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ حَتَّى يُعْرِبَ عَنْهَا لِسَانُهَا»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a secret troop on the day of Khaybar to fight the polytheists. They continued fighting until they reached a village. When they arrived, the Prophet ﷺ asked them, "What led you to kill the villagers?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, they were the children of the polytheists." He said, "And were your children any better than the children of the polytheists? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, every child is born on the fitrah (natural inclination towards monotheism) until his tongue speaks for him."

هو حديث مشهور ثابت وفيه نظر لأن علي بن المديني ويحيى بن معين وأبا عبد الله بن منده وأبا داود وغيرهم أنكروا أن يكون الحسن سمع من الأسود شيئا
machine translationIt is a well-known, established ḥadīth, though there is some concern about it, because ʿAlī b. al-Madīnī, Yaḥyā b. Maʿīn, Abū ʿAbdillāh b. Mandah, Abū Dāwūd and others denied that al-Ḥasan heard anything from al-Aswad.
